2017 Giant Roam 2 Disc

With the confidence of a mountain bike and the quickness of a road bike, this bike is ready for streets, paths or trails. The all-new Giant Roam 2 Disc is built for multi-purpose adventure, sporting the best qualities of both a mountain bike and a road bike. With front suspension, smooth and powerful disc brakes, and trail-ready components, it can take some bumps on rough city roads. And if the road turns into a trail, you’re ready with Roam. The strong, lightweight ALUXX aluminum frame and stable, fast rolling 700c wheels make it a top choice for town-to-trail adventures.

I have had the bike for about 3 weeks and so far I have no complaints! I was a little concerned about the saddle and comfort level but even after a 2 hour ride, everything feels great. I was looking at buying the Trek DS 2 which was more expensive and was a 24 speed instead of the 27 speed, and also had mechanical disc brakes instead of hydraulic discs that the Roam 2 has. Overall, I think this bike was a better deal than the Trek due to the higher quality components and the cheaper price tag. The bike shifts like a dream and rides very smoothly. I haven't gone on any intense trails but I did take it off road while camping last weekend and it handled very well. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and want to thank the awesome staff at Dutch Cycle in Regina for top notch customer service!

I found this bike is really well balanced for a hybrid. I found it easy to ride fast for commuting and it can take a bumpy gravel path in stride. Good for jumping curbs.
I know this next point is contentious but I wish bikes came with a stock kickstand option.I Had a struggle installing because frame is weird shape.

I bought this bike about a week ago. I use it to commute to work. I'm very glad I was shown this bike as it has all the things I need to get me to work and still has the ability to do some off roading if needed. This is my first real "new" age bike; I have only ever have own Canadian Tire bikes prior. The difference is huge! The tires allow me to pedal without getting tired too easily, and I can coast for a block or two.
My biggest con for this bike is that the saddle is a bit hard, but I believe that the bike is intended to be rode with proper biking clothing. Regardless, for a cheap fix you can change out the seat for a more comfortable ride if needed.
